Per Friedman where?

Not enough incentive to take the Campbell contract, there needs to be retention likely anywhere he’s going and doesn’t he have a ntc? Also likely 1 mill less for that Bouch contract

The cost of gettung rid of Campbell is just to high, you just buy him out, at 1,5 mil per year. Esp since cap goes to 83,5 now. Its easy. You shouldnt throw away three defenseman, its onky one that needs to go. Keep Desharnias, he is cheap and an exciting prospect. Kulak or Ceci goes, and another better top suited D in. Campbell bought out + A D goes opens up 6,3 in cap space. Then you trade Yamamoto for a 5th or a 6th to another team and opens up to 9,3 million. Sign Mayfield or Orlov offseason.

And Bouchard will be beidged to a cheapwr contract, like 1 year 2,5. I think McLeod gets around 1,3- 1,4. Janmark could be kept as well, he got chemistry with Nuge. And Derek Ryan will be signed to a low contract. But depends on if they find better on the market.

You realize that Hart isn't very good, right?

And Ceci has far more value than Kulak. Every NHL GM knows that a 1st pairing player is worth more than a 3rd pairing player. And then you signed another 3rd pairing guy (Gudas) to play above his established level of ability and brought up an AHL defenseman to play 3rd pairing.

This team is worse than the existing Oilers roster, by a lot.
